Just for your information Mexicans and Native Americans were here and had the US land first before marauding wasps (not and epithet but a sociological term for a group of people in a PHD text) came from England and Wales and massacred them and subjugated them simply because they wanted the soil that was already owned. This is provable fact if you care to research it independantly as it cannot be refuted. When I read a comment like this I do not even bother to weigh or read the rest of the sentiment (whether I agree or disagree etc on guns or whatever) since you undermine your credibility by such statements. Also FYI in the next few decades the Hispanic Population will be the controlling one demographically and in closing if people didn't continue to commite segregated housing policies which if stopped would allow proper education to allow proper aquisition of resources then one wouldn't have to worry about guns and crime so much. It is all connected and if one truly wants a solution to guns and crime they should start supporting anti racist anti discrimination organizations. The continued untold "redlining" in Baltimore for example promulgates the continued cycle of poverty and violence. If you dispute this cycle, as everything is connected in society, then you need more education.

U sound real silly i been in new haven all my life the problem was here way b4 obama was any where around know your facts crime in the usa alone has went down since hes been in office people like u just want to blame some 1http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4deae8cfccd1d56b6d140000J VerveSat, 04 Jun 2011 22:24:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4deae8cfccd1d56b6d140000
I was in Flint last summer when the serial killer was killing the african american males. I was a little nervous to say the least. I try to stay far away as possible from flint when visiting friends in nearby clio.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de7773c49e2ae085a120000IndyThu, 02 Jun 2011 07:42:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de7773c49e2ae085a120000
Not sure how accurate this list is, or care, because every city has poverty. Some more than others, though we all can agree that most of the crime is there. Indianapolis isn't even mentioned here and yet there are always crazy things happening one block, two blocks away from my street. Just the other day there was a man beating a dog off of her. The owner of that dog came out and shot the guy in the head. **But violence is cool, though. It's in every rap song. And rap is cool.**
** = sarcasmhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de69dd9ccd1d520471b0000StudyWed, 01 Jun 2011 16:15:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de69dd9ccd1d520471b0000
Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago and John Donohue of Yale University revived discussion of this claim with their 2001 paper "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime". Donohue and Levitt point to the fact that males aged 18 to 24 are most likely to commit crimes. Data indicates that crime in the United States started to decline in 1992. Donohue and Levitt suggest that the absence of unwanted aborted children, following legalization in 1973, led to a reduction in crime 18 years later, starting in 1992 and dropping sharply in 1995. These would have been the peak crime-committing years of the unborn children.
The authors argue that states that had abortion legalized earlier and more widespread should have the earliest reductions in crime. Donohue and Levitt's study indicates that this indeed has happened: Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, and Washington experienced steeper drops in crime, and had legalized abortion before Roe v. Wade. Further, states with a high abortion rate have experienced a greater reduction in crime, when corrected for factors like average income. Finally, studies in Canada and Australia purport to have established a correlation between legalized abortion and overall crime reduction.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de52f5d4bd7c8a574190000MeganTue, 31 May 2011 14:11:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de52f5d4bd7c8a574190000
First of all Obama is the best thing that happened to America since BOTH the Bushes came in to office. alll they did was start war and conflicts with other countries. Obama has actually made peace with them and is trying his best to get soldiers back home. so just because Obama became president doesnt mean you have tpo take pre caustion. i just read recently on another blog where they said nothing but blacks voted for him. noot true . what did you see mostly at his campaign speeche. exactlyy. he is just as good as any other president. i meand you guy act like its a crime for therer to be a black president. you all are jerk offs . and its not just thugs starting crimes. it all races.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de480f2ccd1d5a045090000BlueIndependentTue, 31 May 2011 01:47:30 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de480f2ccd1d5a045090000
I see that, as usual, the conservative 101st Keyboard Brigade shows up to any story to glad-hand themselves in circle-jerk fashion. Fingers calloused giving each other up-rates guys?
There are some unfortunate details for you, however. First off, cities almost by definition are "Democratic Party strongholds", because those are areas of high population, the same areas that the Democratic party traditionally does well in. Saying cities are "Democratic strongholds" is like saying rural areas are Republican strongholds. In other words: No F'ing Sh!t. Second, cities are also, again by definition, bound to be more violent than rural areas, because one houses hundreds of thousands to millions of people, and the other brags about having one stop light in a multi-mile radius. So at the most basic level, you conservatives are saying water is wet, when everyone already knew that.
I will also dutifully note that a few of these cities are actually small portions of major metropolitan areas. Elizabeth, NJ? Part of a major area. Richmond, CA? Again, one small part of a major area. Others are their own cities, and much smaller than other majors in their state. Stockton, CA is not in the top 5 biggest in California. Rockford, IL and Springfield, IL rate at best as small- to medium-sized cities nowhere near the size of a burg like Chicago. Which means, things are actually getting better in big areas, not worse. Further, where are "Democratic strongholds" like LA, Chicago, NYC, and Houston, the 4 largest metro areas in the nation, housing tens of millions of people? Where's Seattle? Portland? Madison? Minneapolis? Albuquerque? Tucson? San Fran proper? Boston? Oh those cities aren't on the list at all, but St. Petersburg and Miami, FL, both of which reside in a state with rather open gun laws, are? Wow, I guess that's the sound of your whole pop-theory sinking under its own weight. But that's as if there were no "Republican strongholds" on that list. Last I checked GA was a red state, as is Florida, Missouri, and Tennessee. In fact Missouri shares one of its entries with another red state, Kansas. I'm sure the fact that Missouri, Florida, and Tennessee are all on the list twice has nothing to do with the Republicans. I'm also certain it has nothing to do with reporting standards in red states…
Yet other unfortunate fact is that many of the cities listed are areas where manufacturing jobs have left the country en masse, leaving the local populations without millions of jobs. Again, last I checked, the fewer people have jobs, the more crime goes up. Simple math people. You make it easy for companies to go abroad for cheap labor, and then you whine when crime goes up and cities are blighted. Never let it be said you idiots understand cause and effect. You want cheap? It comes at a price. And this is as if the manufacturing of illegal drugs wasn't happening in red plains states like Nebraska and Iowa. Ya sure the crime isn't out in the rural areas, just the manufacturing of the products for the ensuing markets that exist in the big cities.
But I'm sure the solution to everything is to put a gun in the hand of every man, woman, and child, and set them out on the street. Oh if all of America was only so smart as a bunch of busy body conservatives on the internet.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de39c66cadcbb2d380e0000CA`BOYMon, 30 May 2011 09:32:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de39c66cadcbb2d380e0000
lol at all of you....California is probably the most dangerous...just that most people aint snitches so the cops dont get involved alot...matter of fact trigger happy police be killing too...a kids pointed a WATER GUN, you know the blue, orange, colorful ones and he got shot straight in the head..a guy walked out of his home with a pocket knife probably hundreds of feet from officers to pose an actual threat and still got a bullet to the head....and then you ask why everybody and they mommas run around this mothafucka straped and madhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de2ea9accd1d5ac1c1a0000JuliaSmithSun, 29 May 2011 20:53:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de2ea9accd1d5ac1c1a0000
I must agree with this article that our place here in Flint Michigan isn't an ideal place to live. Where bullies and gangster is making every settler's annoyed and disturbed. I wish we could move somewhere else, where my family and especially my kids, could live safely. That's why I make sure to register my kids to SafeKidZone, a mobile base protection program, where in, they can summon for help to all of our trusted friends and family whenever an emergency arises. And also they can be part of the call bridge where they can reach the call center and the safety network to have an interaction, in order to provide immediate assistance. And if it needed, the call can be routed to 911 dispatch in our area, to ask more help. This protection that I have for my kids, make me feel safe that my kids are in good hand. Be safe and protect your kids, by visiting their website here. <a href="http://SafeKidZone.com" target="_blank">http://SafeKidZone.com</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de1875f49e2ae6e1c020000CharlieSat, 28 May 2011 19:38:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de1875f49e2ae6e1c020000
These type of listings are for the "Trendy Fingernail Biting Chattering Class". Living in one of the cities listed: Lowell. I never felt any fear about going from one area of the city to another part of the city.

Unless the clueless writers ever been to any of the places listed and did their own research, instead of fudging numbers around.
Don't take these listings serious, unless it comes from a FBI Crime Index report, and not from some news site that nobody ever heard about until now.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de10b9149e2ae277b250000cheryl in Lansing, MISat, 28 May 2011 10:49:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4de10b9149e2ae277b250000
I am from Lansing, Mi which is not too far from Flint and I must say I agree if you mind yourself your pretty much alright. Who ever said diverisity is to blame is unknowledgable about Flint and its history. Flint used to be pretty much crime free and a beautiful place to be. The problem was politics and outsourcing our jobs! Big business taking their business elsewhere to save a dime. Flint hinged on the auto industry. Now that its gone its poverty strucken. Given the fact that poverty is what usually causes crime rate to go up and the fact that when you have no money flowing through the community police cutbacks are inevidable. Of course Flint is now diverse because if you know anything about American history you would know for many years if you were any color other then white getting a GOOD job was difficult. America is changing now but its effects of the past still linger which leads to diversity in poverty stricken areas. Diversity is not reason for crime Poverty is and circumstances in america has forced people of color into those areas. My dad was a GM worker in Lansing and I remember going to a gorgious Flint that had flowers everywhere and smiling faces as we visited Autoworld as a child... Get our companies back in America. Dont blame color unless its the color GREEN! its politics and greed people not diversity to blame.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddf13224bd7c8d75e0d0000HallesyThu, 26 May 2011 22:57:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddf13224bd7c8d75e0d0000
LMAO! Obama has never said or done anything about gun control. You hear these things from crazy right wing nut jobs so poor stupid people will vote for them. Get the facts before you spread rumors.

Yes, that's really ridiculous and pretty offensive to anyone who had someone die on that plane.
1. It's not a crime (well, maybe on the part of the airline)
2. It's not even in Buffalo.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dde9af14bd7c85015210000niceThu, 26 May 2011 14:24:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dde9af14bd7c85015210000

Lol Detroit and Flint are 1 and 2. Sad shit. Want to see what a 10+ year recession does to a state and its cities. People get crazy when they have no where to turn. People will go to great lengths when they don't have food/water/shelter (all the essentials). If we don't turn this around soon all of America will be like this.

The reason is far more complex than your simplistic assessment implies. Cities like Boston, Ann Arbor, Austin, etc. etc. are liberal bastions and they're not to be seen on this list.
Go cry to the Koch Brothers about your situation. They need poor stiffs like you to advance their agenda.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddca244cadcbb963a0f0000ChristopherWed, 25 May 2011 02:31:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddca244cadcbb963a0f0000
Actually you can not testify that the Bay Area is the most dangerous place in America besides L.A. because neither is true. Not even close. You can't just pull things out of your rectum and claim they're true, even if it feels really, really, really good. You actually have to rely on facts, not faith, or your subjective, uneducated, unworldly perceptions, or your bigoted preconceptions.
BTW, the area of the US with the lowest crime rate overall happens to be New England, by an extreme degree (in the same way that it has the highest education levels and, by and large, the lowest divorce rates). It's a Democratic Party stronghold if ever there was one. So how do you explain that?
Do your homework before you go online and make your sweeping, selective and erroneous generalizations you aren't actually qualified to make. You're an embarrasment to everyone, including yourself.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc99b04bd7c8ad3b1b0000SingapuraWed, 25 May 2011 01:54:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc99b04bd7c8ad3b1b0000
So you say there must be something wrong with Americans? There are plenty of places where people don't wear guns that are incredibly safe (Singapore comes to mind). Blaming Democrats or gun laws, is just plain narrow minded.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc883cccd1d57c1c1a0000masimonsWed, 25 May 2011 00:40:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc883cccd1d57c1c1a0000

If you live or work or both in Flint,MI. you just have to be smart about how you conduct yourself. Keep your doors locked and curtains closed after dark, don't answer the door if you are alone unless you know and trust the person there. And if you are a single woman-never, ever, use an ATM or buy gas or frequent party stores after dark. Lastly, get your CCW and carry a weapon with you and KNOW how to use it!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc44ea4bd7c8882f260000StanTue, 24 May 2011 19:53:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc44ea4bd7c8882f260000
Why aren't we using the blacks to keep the Mexicans out? Tempt the 'boons down to AZ with a long trail of White Castle burgers and they'll soon be defending their new border-side territory for the good of all. Make it lawful to cook and eat illegals and the blacks will be happy beyond (mispronounced, garbled) words.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc4471cadcbb99190d0000Democrats hate security and freedomTue, 24 May 2011 19:51:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddc4471cadcbb99190d0000
Liberals like to enslave everyone to government dependence. Police cannot be everywhere at once. If you have to call them, it is too late.. Just look at the destruction of freedom via gun control (good people control because the criminals always have access to guns) which prevents people from protecting their wives and children from murderers and rapists. Thank you demoncrats for destroying America. Your debt slavery has caused police layoffs and the increasing crime is your fault 100%--Democrats hate freedom and security.

You know who else typically live in cities? Vast amounts of TERRIBLY undereducated and/or poorly educated people of alls stripes who don't know anything about what is going on in their local areas, the nation or the world. Your argument is ignorant and reflects the white, liberal elitism I was referring to that keeps me and my family and millions of other middle class, decent families in fear all the time.

Cities are usually liberal. Educated people live in cities because that's where the industries that attract educated people are. And educated people are usually liberal. I don't think the crime that happens in cities happens out of criminal's vehement hatred for supply-side economics or their form of Iraq war protesting or something.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddbb0fe4bd7c8f43e2b0000A Near FlintTue, 24 May 2011 09:22:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddbb0fe4bd7c8f43e2b0000

There used to be 8-10 police officers for 6 scheduled roll calls per day, in a 24 hour time period. Now it is approximately half of that. Downtown Flint is making a comeback, but once you go off of the beaten path? That's when you begin to worry.

That's the mentality i meant which leads to violence. Call people loser and someday they will rob you. That mentality is exactly the reason why the US society is full of violence and crime. Violence through words, the market and on the street. A country full of people with shit in the brain. The country of Gears of War 3 and Saw 4, the country of military schools, rape prison, poverty, forced floreclosures, a country full of people with guns who hate their black president.

I think it's not a "democratic party stronghold area" that's bad but the lack of police and lack of employment that causes all of the problems. If people can't/won't find jobs they need money for food/shelter/or whatever else and they are doing whatever it takes. Gangs are a great way for younger people to get money for what they need and it usually ends in violence.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb550accd1d513101b0000GuyTue, 24 May 2011 02:49:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb550accd1d513101b0000
The south bay (san jose ) is one of the safest places in the entire nation. What are you talking about? Asians (chinese, filipinos, Indians) and hispanics outnumber whites in some areas 3 to 1 in the south bay.
Asians and indians are the majority in Cupertino, and it's the safest and one of richest places in the nation.
I fail to see how diversity leads to violence. Hispanics are 30+% of san Jose, and San jose is definitely at the bottom of the violent crime rankings. Among the least violent according to wikipedia. I don't even see any traditionally hispanic cities on the list of the 25 in the article.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb3c36ccd1d5226c0c0000Michael AlayyoubiTue, 24 May 2011 01:03:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb3c36ccd1d5226c0c0000
Sorry man, but I've gotta say that I disagree. If you've ever set foot in Flint, you would know why it's at the top of this list. Too few police? There are NO police in these areas. Mainly because they are too afraid to patrol them. I'm from Lansing, MI, and I've been to the Bay area before. I agree that it's not the safest of places to be around, but there is no comparison. So long as you mind yourself and don't act stupid you can get around just fine there. In Flint, it's not a question of whether you are going to be the victim of a crime or not. It's just a question of whether it will be petty theft or if you wont be leaving.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb371449e2ae3a5d1c0000markthesharkTue, 24 May 2011 00:41:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb371449e2ae3a5d1c0000
The report is based solely on "violent crime". Not burglary, auto theft, drug dealing, etc. Camden has tons of crime in general but falls short of many other cities when it comes solely to "violent crime".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb292849e2ae4a431c0000BSMon, 23 May 2011 23:42:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb292849e2ae4a431c0000
that's great and all, but grew up 10 minutes from that place. the point i'm trying to make not a cheap dig at Camden, but that the list has to be flawed because Camden ISN'T on the top 25 list.
This is a city that has constantly been on the top 5 on the list of highest crime rate per capita, and actually was the highest just a few years back.....and now its not even on the list?
something doesnt make sense, and i was only trying to point that out.
here's a snippet from wiki, just to give you an idea:
"Based on statistics reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Camden was the third-most dangerous city in the U.S. during 2002, and has been ranked the nation's most dangerous city in 2004, 2005 and 2009.[64] "Most dangerous city" is based on crime statistics in six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and auto theft."
now does this make sense?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb1b69cadcbbd126120000cabaretvoltaireMon, 23 May 2011 22:43:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddb1b69cadcbbd126120000

I dormed in Camden for four years and I can tell you the city has lots of potential. There are plans underway to develop the city, and I wouldn't be surprised if in the next ten years it was an expensive place to live- kinda like a south Jersey version of Hoboken.
Look at it this way at night a Camden waterfront apartment has a view of the Philly skyline.

The problem in the US is that even under restricted gun laws you still sell weapons to private persons in those U.S. States where it is allowed to carry and buy a weapon. Someday the Mexicans will invade your country if you don't stop to sell private weapons.
Total ban of all private weapons combined with jobs for everybody and homicide rate will drop to the bottom.
Your crime rate is the result of the american glorification of violence. Until you don't stop your fascist darwinist violence through capitalism which is an unsafe form for many people to finance a life those cities will never get safe.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddac389ccd1d54f22220000DontonsonMon, 23 May 2011 16:28:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ddac389ccd1d54f22220000
More importantly than gun control laws are levels of education and access to decent jobs.....all these places suck at both.

No worries. I was not a gun guy until Obama was elected. That was all it took for me. No, not that he is black, that is a corrupt lying thief followed blindly by robots. That's all it took for me.

I can testify that the Bay Area is probably the most dangerous place in America besides L.A. There are way to few cops here and the thugs roam the steets and the roads and they KNOW that they are not going to get caught. Thanks to CA anti-gun policy the wealthy elitist leftists and the criminals are the safe ones here. The working and honest middle class get hosed and fear for their lives on the roads and in their neighborhoods.
BTW, notice how ALL of those areas are Democratic Party strongholds. Ha. Liberalism in actions. Safety for none but the rich. Thanks, leftists for making me fear for the lives of me and my children you jerkoffs.
